We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Beautiful, relaxing, and we loved having a backyard surrounded by nature. I would give this home a 4/5 because there was one thing that made me nervous and another thing that I really didn’t appreciate . Firstly, there were security cams that I hadn’t expected, which took getting used to. Secondly, the morning we were to leave, before checkout, a young man came through the property gate and left some personal belongings on the steps. It was uncomfortable to step outside the front door in the morning and see that someone had been on premises. All in all, it was great and we loved our stay. Thank you Jefferson.

Here’s a simple, excellent review you can post: We had a wonderful stay at Casa Copper in Quepos! The location was excellent—close to restaurants, shops, and just a short drive to Manuel Antonio National Park and the beautiful beaches. A special thank you to Jorge, the concierge, who was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. He made some fantastic recommendations for local attractions, dining, and activities that made our visit even more enjoyable. The property was clean, comfortable, and a perfect home base for exploring the area. We highly recommend Casa Copper and would gladly stay here again!

Our stay at Casa Copper was fantastic! This is a perfect place for a couple to relax and enjoy being surrounded by the sites and sounds of the jungle. From the morning serenade of the thrush at sunrise, to the sounds of the howler monkeys, macaws, toucans, flocks of parakeets and many other birds throughout the day, to the frogs and geckos chirping at night, it is immersion into the Costa Rican beauty. The concierge services were wonderful with helping to book our rental car, in-home massages, tours as well as our incredibly talented in-home chef, Alex. His culinary creations were a delight. 🥰 The home had everything we needed and more. Be sure to look at the binder for tons of useful info about your stay, places to eat, things to do, etc. It was great to have the privacy of the garden area and private pool. There are too many extra touches to mention. Let’s just say, you’ll love it. 🩷 It was truly a delight staying here.

Our stay here was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The place was spotless, beautifully designed, and even better than the photos. Waking up to the views every morning felt unreal, and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect getaway. The host went above and beyond in every way — super responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best experience possible. Every detail was taken care of, from smooth check‑in to helpful local recommendations that made our trip even better. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and we felt completely comfortable and at home the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. If you’re considering booking this place, do it!

I've been traveling with AirBNB for over 11 years, I have to say this may be my favorite place yet. The communication was a 6 out of 5, ready to help coordinate and manage activities, local recommendations, reservations, anything we might need. Communication throughout the week was responsive and very accommodating. The house it's self is comfortable, nestled in a jungle environment which offered most every species of wildlife imaginable, simply navigating through the yard. We enjoyed use of the bbq, outdoor meals everyday in addition to proximity to great restaurants and beaches. Our concierge truly made the trip, we will be back.

First the owner set us up with a concierge who met us at the house upon our arrival. Jorge showed us how everything worked in the home and made himself readily available for anything we needed. The house itself was perfect for us. My boyfriend and I shared the main house while my college age daughter and her friend shared the apartment. We all got to spend plenty of time together without having to stumble over each other for amenities such as bathrooms, showers, laundry and etc. The pool is perfectly placed in the courtyard. The seating on the patio and by the pool is ample. The grill is clean and works well. The entire property is surrounded by trees which creates perfect privacy. Added bonus for us is on a daily basis we were visited by monkeys gathering food in the trees above. If you want a private and beautiful property that’s just minutes away from shopping, beaches, and restaurants, this one is highly suggested!

Jefferson’s place was everything we expected from the photos and even better in person. Tucked between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, it is truly a hidden gem. The wildlife alone made the stay unforgettable. Every single day we saw red squirrel monkeys, macaws, toucans, capuchin monkeys, geckos, praying mantises, butterflies, it was endless. It felt like our own private nature show right in the backyard. Location-wise, it could not be more convenient. Within a five minute drive you can reach grocery stores and a fresh fish market in Quepos, and there are plenty of options in Manuel Antonio as well. There are also lots of restaurants nearby with amazing views and great food. It is the perfect home base if you want to do daily excursions or explore other areas beyond Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Even though we did not book any excursions through the concierge, we were welcomed right on time with care. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and we really appreciated being able to do our ow

Cooper Casa exceeded all expectations! Jefferson truly thought of everything, from the full-sized refrigerator with filtered water to phone chargers, nightlights, games, beach umbrellas, and even a washer and dryer. The home was spotless, and we felt completely safe and well taken care of. One of the highlights was the incredible wildlife sightings from the pool and driveway – we spotted sloths, macaws, capuchin monkeys, capybaras, blue butterflies, and an iguana, with the distant calls of howler monkeys adding to the magic. Can't recommend this place enough! Don't miss out on these local must-dos: pizza at La Lambretta, affordable grocery shopping at BM Supermercado and whale watching at the National Park. Thanks, Jefferson, for an unforgettable stay!
